    apparently they are making the MG Xpower sv, with the first customers cars just off the production line. normal version has a 385bhp v8 which is ok especially as the bodyshell is carbon fibre and light as anything. worryingly though they are talking about making an 800 bhp nitrous oxide assisted road legal model. they're insane.

    hmmm wonder if they'll put that engine in the zt? that'd give bub's m5 a run for it's money.
    cheers

    385 is a car to watch out for but 800 thats mad, cant wait to see info on that. I imagine the price tag will be heeuuuggee though.

    To be fair JU, most stuff doesn't get interesting til you got 400, (at the wheels), never had 800 though :( just 720 without the gas, hummm, I still have a few 35 lb bottles kicking about and some solenoid vaves, just hold that thought.

    tim,
    are you sure there's enough love in tone's heart for your rover. i would have thought that putting nitrous on that would have been akin to putting a dress on a pig ;)

    still if the sierra in question was an unmolested cosworth then i might be interested if it's a 1.6L then you're on your own.
    cheers
